Yuma Daily Sun, The (Newspaper) - June 17, 1977, Yuma, Arizona Security van guard's body found floating in Lake Mead Ex-Yuma sheriff teffs tales of spy work LAS VEGAS (APl-The body of a man found floating in Lake Mead on Thursday was positively identified this morning as being that of Russell Dempsey. Dempsey. 53. was one of two Phoenix security guards who vanished in a armored van robbery last month. The other guard. Cecil Newkirk. 50. is still missing. The two men disappeared May 24 when their Purolau-r armored van was stopped and hijacked about 50 miles SUN north of Phoenix. Lt. Beecher Avants. head of the Homicide and Robbery Division of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, said some boaters discovered Dempsey's badly bloated and decomposed body. Avants said initial identification was made through jewelry and body markings, and that an autopsy is slated later today to determine the cause of death. .Avants said it appeared that Demp- sey's body had been in the water for a "many, many days." An FBI agent from Phoenix with fingerprints of both men arrived here Thursday night. "So far as we know at this point, we have the body of a John Doe only." anFBl spokesman in Phoenix said. and ARIZONA SENTINEL Telephone 783-3333 SUN 185th Issue, 74th Year SENTINEL 81 st Issue, 105th Year Yuma, Arizona, Fri., June 17, 1977 Keeping tax rate down is object of county By CYNTHIA LANCASTER The Yuma Daily Sun No major capital improvements are' planned for this year's county budget, County Manager Gene Brazeel said this morning. "We're going to use the available money to maintain what we've already got in an effort to keep the tax rate as low as Brazeel said. There have been no estimates yet on what the tax rate might be. The current rate is SI.99 per S100 assessed valuation. The county manager and members of the board of supervisors spent this week reviewing each county depart- ment's requests. Brazeel said decisions were made on cuts, changes and readjustments. The county's initial budget figures will be presented for public review at a hearing June 30. Preliminary approval of the budget can come at that time. Once a budget receives preliminary approval, it can be lowered but not raised. For that reason, Brazeel said, the highest estimates are being used in 'calculating funding for programs whose cost is uncertain. Medicaid, the state-mandated indigent health care program, is one such area, he said.

Sunset Sunrise know which of several funding for- mulas will be used to determine county costs. There is also a possibility that a pending court decision'could eliminate the program entirely, Brazeel said. At present, the county is estimating it will cost more than million next year for its health care program, Brazeel said. He said the cost could come down by Included in the health care program is in indigent medical bills to be .carried over from this year's budget. The county had asked to go before the .state tax commission for per- mission to exceed this year's budget by that amount. But Brazeel said today the county has been asked to carry the bills into the next budget instead. The state request was made because of pressing time requirements, Brazeel said. The carryover will not affect next year's tax rate. County revenue sharing funds of about will be channeled into the budget to help keep the tax rate down rather than being used to pay for new projects, he said. Federal public works funds- of will be used to improve county bridges, Brazeel said. A hoped-for 35 million grant for a new county jail is apparently dead, although offiqial word has still not been received, Brazeelsaid. The county manager said he has been in contact with federal workers and U.S. Sen. Dennis DeConciniVoffice. He has been told it seems there simply isn't enough money available for a new jail. "I guess we were lucky to get the inoney we did for Brazeel said. He added the only way to afford a major capital expenditure like that required for a new jail would be to have a bond issue. The county has no plans to do that, he said: "1 don't think the public would go for it." good evening Yuma TWO SHARE law officer of the year honors from Yuma Chamber of Commerce.

When investigators found the van, the currency was gone but the sacks of coins remained along with a 12gauge shotgun.

Gulf exec helped draft letter asking uranium cartel WASHINGTON (API A former Gulf Oil Corp. executive acknowledged today that he helped draft a Canadian government request that Gulf par- ticipate in an international uranium price-setting cartel. The testimony by L.T. Gregg to a House investigations subcommittee appeared to undermine Gulf's con- tention that it was compelled to join the cartel by Canadian officials. At issue is a January 1974, letter by a top Canadian energy official to N.M. Ediger. manager of Gulf's Canadian uranium-marketing subsidiary, claiming "it is deemed to be in the public interest" for Gregg to become an active member of the cartel's operations committee. Gregg, who was then manager for uranium sales for the subsidiary, said the letter was actually drafted by Ediger and himself. The letter was signed by G.M. MacNabb, senior assistant Canadian deputy minister for energy, nunes and resources. "Mr. Ediger and I jointly drafted this letter or something very close to it and sent it to Gregg conceded under questioning. Gulf' officials testified before the panel on Thursday that the firm only joined the cartel because it was forced Gardener...............Que Pasa Markets........................2 Weather.......................14 to by Canada. The officials also denied that this involvement violated any U.S. antitrust laws. Gregg said that his superiors at Gulf were very sensitive about the antitrust issue and that "I would not, as a practice, talk about club activities when I was in the United States." Gregg said the cartel members often referred to the group as "The Club." He said that if asked abeut activities of foreign uranium producers he would deny knowing anything about the arrangement. Asked by subcommittee counsel John Atkison if that meant Gregg said, "That's a fairly good characterization." Subcommittee Chairman John E. Mpss, D-Calif., said it is "quite possible" that the panel will vote to ask the Justice Department to investigate whether Gulf violated U.S. antitrust laws. In testimony Thursday, two senior Gulf officials acknowledged that the cartel's activities did result in an in- crease in the world market price of uranium. And one of them also con- ceded that as a result of the cartel, some U.S. utilities may have wound iip pay ing higher prices for uranium.

WASHINGTON (API The White House reaffirmed today President Carter's determination to proceed with a phased -withdrawal of U.S. ground combat troops from South Korea, although the Senate is unwilling to endorse the plan. Carter's deputy press Rex Granum, told reporters the President intends to consult with Congress on the withdrawal and will submit annual reports on the program as requested by the Senate Thursday. However, Granum reported Carter intends to pull out the ground troops over a four-to five-year period, "consistent with security interests of countries in that area." The White House spokesman also said, "There are certain decisions on the deployment of military personnel that are the responsiility of the com- mander in chief and he intends Uvcarry out those responsibilities." In response to questions, Granum noted Carter never has announced a specific timetable ,for withdrawal nor cited-any figures on the number of men involved. The spokesman declined to discuss plans for American nuclear weapons now in South Korea. However, after a newsman referred to combat troops equipped with nuclear rockets Granum said, "When they withdraw the troops they withdraw the facilities."

MILLION-PLUS Crane School budget clipped By CONNIE BUKI.L Sun Education Writer The proposed 84.5 million Crane School Dist. budget was cut by nearly last night and then approved by a 4-1 vote of the board of trustees. Board member Lenore Mayle voted against approval. She said con- struction of the district offices should wait another year and that the district could instead lease offices for one year. Supt. Hank Suverkrup earlier said the tax rate, because of the proposed budget, might jump 146% from S2.29 to S5.63 per S100 assessed valuation. Yesterday's trimming should keep the increase down SI to 84.63. The owner of a home paid about 8103.05 for Crane schools this year. At a 84.63 rate, the homeowner would pay about S208.35. Cut from the budget were: Construction of the administration building and teachers lounges at Viejo. saving Funds to build the same structure for Rancho were left intact. Four concrete activity courts, saving .The original budget called for building eight for Board president Jon Jessen said the district could build one court at each school and then see how heavily used they are before adding a second. Restroom renovations, saving 8100.000. Jessen said the renovations were badly needed but could be put off one year. Jessen explained that even if the money were available, by the time the project was put to bid and begun, it would be time for school to open anyway. Board member Jess Baker said he at least wanted to see some minor repairs done this summer, such as putting up doors and painting. All board members Building a dishwashing room for the Rancha-Viejo school, saving Funds to purchase land for the proposed district offices. Jessen said the district could trade some land it already has but is unsuitable for the offices. Jessen said next year's budget will have to include purchasing a backup refrigeration unit for Pueblo, con- struction of the dishwashing room, a Viejo administration building, adding a stage to the cafeteria at Rancho-Viejo. building a multipurpose building for Rancho-Viejo and restroom renovations. Yesterday's budget itemized for the first time 839.000 for shop equipment. 821.000 for home economics equipment, for two district vehicles and 825.000 for a district warehouse. At a meeting last week, Jessen and board member Karl Dennis had estimated they could cut up to from the budget. Yesterday Jessen said new information changed their minds. The board had planned to spend of insurance money on shower facilities for Rancho-Viejo. Jessen learned yesterday that such insurance money by state law can_only be used to pay off bonds. Also, it'is too late this year to use the insurance money for bond-payoff and the funds must be held over another year. So yesterday the board inserted a more conservative figure of to build the showers. Yesterday's discussion left as is the funds for purchasing books and playground equipment, showers at Pueblo, wiring and roof work at Ranch- Viejo and irrigation work at the new school. Jessen said he worked with Suverkrup yesterday afternoon to come up with the cuts. All board members Mrs. Mayle, Jessen, Dennis. Elizabeth Keddie and were present.- About 15 others attended. Jessen opened the meeting by stating that the public hearing was Monday and that at last night's meeting, only board members would speak.

I need to move some giant hosta and want to know can I do it now or wait until fall? They have to be moved. |

do it now.. there is an older post about how to do it.. ken |
I'm sorry....awful job....and it will take 2 seasons to really grow the roots to be what it was!! Linda C |
If given the choice, I'd do it in the fall. You don't have to worry about the leaves, if they are pumping water, or trying to keep as many intact as possible. You only have to move the root ball instead of the rootball and a mass of leaves. If possible, move after the first frost, and make sure they get water. IMHO! |

now that i reread this.. do you mean giant hosta ... or giants clumps of regular hosta ... GIANTS revert to immature form when they are dug up .... anything other than a giant .. will NOT revert to juvenile form .. depending on how much dividing you are doing .. if you just split a big clump.. even quarter it ... with a great amount to root with each clump ... it will probably return about the same next year .... if you divide it into a thousand pieces.. individual eyes... then they will be smaller since the root mass will be puny per eye .... now a better question ... hosta nearly NEVER need to be dug and divided ... if your hosta needs to be dug repeatedly perhaps you ought to get rid of it.. and buy a properly sized hosta for the location you are working with ... ken |
Why is that? Why would a giant revert to immature but a large stay large and a small stay small, etc? The biology of that isn't computing w/ me. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 31, 07 at 17:38
its the impact on the root mass .... take a giant.. and reduce its root capacity .. by 1/4 ... even taking 1/4 of the eyes .. it will shrink .. or maybe i should say ... expect it to shrink ... and if it doesn't.. rejoice ... if somehow... you can take a 4 foot rootball on a giant ... and not truncate ANY of the roots.. and not lose anything.. and do it all surgically ... etc.. maybe it wont go backwards.. but most of us just aren't that careful .. now are we ... i am surely not going to tell newbies.. or anyone.. to expect full recovery the year after ... and as for minis.. even small to med .. heck.. half of them are barely in the ground anyway.. and you can pop out even a giant section of a mini .. and still get every root, intact .... and it will move real easy .. and just plug away thereafter ... maybe its just all a function of the stress inflicted ... ken |
It doesn't "revert" the leaves just don't grow as big without the root mass. When the root mass grows the size of the leaves will increase. Spring of 05 I had to move either a S and S or an Elegans. I just didn't believe they would be so big when I planted them in 01 or so. I chose the S and S....and my good neighbor muscled it out of the ground just as the eyes were poking through. Got no where near all the root ball. Left it sitting in a plastic bag in the shade for about 2 weeks, while I got the space prepared. It began to unfurl. Finally got it into the ground where it will live forever more. Nestled it in with some nice compost and watered the He!! out of it. It unfurled and was an impressive plant. Obviously a S and S big leaves etc....and I watered. Then in O6 it put out bigger leaves ( it was getting more sun in it's new spot)....and this year wow! Lushious big bright green hosta!....And I bought an Endless summer. I thought the blue would look lovely near the chartreuse....and put it in the ground about the 2nd week in June, about a foot away from the farther most leaf of the S and S....and it looked lovely!...until the hosta ate it! It's half covered by that S and S....think Endless will have to move in the spring! But I am sure I will injure the roots of the S and S....so maybe I'll just let it have the hydrangea for lunch...even though I am sure it would prefer a ground hog! Linda C |
lmao...nice visual and VERY true on S&S....what a great hosta! ken, I'm tracking w/ you now. I didn't realize you meant hte impact on the roots and yes....those babies would need a backhoe to get all of the roots when larger. i get it now. ;) |
If you divide the hostas with enough rootball they will hardly know they've been moved even in Summer. I've done it often enough. You might lose 1 in 10 divisions if you water them carefully. |
- Posted by brucebanyaihsta (My Page) on Fri, Aug 3, 07 at 17:43
The other consideration when dividing a giant or old hosta is the need for fine root hairs to allow it to take up water and nutrients. If I find only old woody roots, I cull them but if no other lively roots then need to "baby with TLC" these divisions in a moist good soil for a year to get these root hairs re-established.

Weight of Glass Block Window
Is it possible for a glass block window to crush the window sill? I am removing an old wood window from a Victorian house with balloon construction built in 1880. The window dimensions are 34x74. I estimated the glass alone should weigh 250 lbs and the mortar should be 50-100 lbs more. This window is on the second floor and there is a first floor window directly below it in the same stud bays.
Will framing in this configuration be enough to support the window? http://wayneofthewoods.com/Tiphowtoframeawindow.htm However, keep in mind I don't have a horizontal 2x4 on the floor of the second floor since its balloon frame. The rest looks the same. I was thinking maybe I should switch the window sill 2x4 for a header with 2x4's and plywood standing up running horizontal? Thanks. Advertisement |

Weight of Glass Block Window
A single vertical 2x4 4' long should buckle at more than 3300#. For a safety factor of four you can load it to 800#.
You can make a 1/10 scale model out of the same wood which should buckle at 34 to 70#. The slenderness ratio is about 32 for this, so it will probably be stronger than the numbers above. Try the formula in the link below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling But I think if you frame it like your link it will be way strong. If you have any doubts add one or two more cripple studs under the sill. AdvertisementLast edited by Yoyizit; 06-23-2010 at 02:16 PM. |

How to Get a Girl to Text You Back
It's all about texting. Texting is so popular that doing it while driving is illegal in some states and there are apps for the iPhone to help people text while walking. It's a lovely thing. The text is the ultimate tool to get a girl to like you, think about you throughout the day, and contact you out of the blue. See that cute girl on the subway doing nothing but stare at her phone's screen? Yeah, she's texting. Here's how to make sure that girl will text you back.
1Text her and say "hey". See if she responds. Most likely she will say "Who's this?" Tell her. If she doesn't respond, then just leave her alone for a few days, and try again. If she doesn't text you back, she's not interested. If she does respond, ask her about her friends, family and interests. See where it goes from there!Ad
2Don't be clingy! After you get a girl's number it is best not to contact them right away in order to not appear needy or annoying. After you've waited however long you think is necessary (2 or 3 days tops), send a quick text message like all the young ones do in today's age. It's best to keep the first text short and sweet, flirty, funny, mysterious, or any combination of those. A common text most guys send would be "Hey it's John from the coffee shop, remember me?" This is a mistake. Just assume they remember you and they are anxiously awaiting your text. Asking if they remember you should only be in a flirty manner i.e. you're teasing her because she was pretty wasted when you met her at a party.
- What to say. A better approach is the simplest message ever: "Hey you." Most likely they will not have gotten your number so she will wonder who's talking to her, therefore she's likely to respond.
- Likely response #1. If she responds "Hey who's this?" you can have fun with her by making her guess or tease her for giving her number out to so many guys she doesn't know who's talking to her.
- Likely response #2. If she responds: "Oh hey, is this John from the coffee shop?" Just respond "Hope you weren't just waiting around with your phone in your hand all week to hear from me ;)" This is kinda cocky, pretty funny, and starts the flirting right away. Now it may not be manly to add smiley faces in messages, but it's hard to tell if someone's joking in text, especially if they don't know you.
- Optional response. Another response you might want to throw in is: "So is this the cute blonde girl or the brunette I met on Wednesday?" or some variation. Guarantee they will be a little shocked by your fortitude, but they will laugh.
- What to say. A better approach is the simplest message ever: "Hey you." Most likely they will not have gotten your number so she will wonder who's talking to her, therefore she's likely to respond.
3Keep up the vibe. You can literally open with anything along those lines and she will respond. Otherwise, stick with the vibe you created when you first got her number. If you flirted with her by giving her a silly nickname like "shorty" or "dork", throw that in there.
4Don't annoy her! Now how often you text is also very important. Getting into a full conversation is very easy but is something you should avoid during the first few days you're texting her. You do not want to end up annoying her by making her phone ring/buzz all day from some guy she just met.
5Make it quick! The best way to go about it would be to just have a quick conversation (four to six messages each) and then tell her you're busy and will talk to her later. Try to actually be busy/doing something interesting, you don't want start the whole thing on a lie.
6Respond at your own leisure. It's easy to get excited about a message from a hot girl that you're into, but she will catch on to you responding immediately after you get her message. She will assume you like her and are anxiously awaiting all her messages. This ends the chase immediately. So give it some time between messages and don't annoy her, just don't play mind games. The text message is beautiful because you have time to carefully craft what you're going to say, so when it's your turn to write back, take that time think about it hard.
7End the conversation yourself. When it's time to end the conversation, it's best just to say "I gotta run (or do something interesting if you really are), talk to you later." It shows that you're not clingy if you end the conversation yourself.
8Stay in control. When she responds back and says bye, just leave it at that (unless she asks a question). If she's the one that sent the last message, it puts you in control and makes her wonder if you're going to send another one.
9Play it cool until the next time you contact her. It's a good idea to have three to four text conversations over the period of a few days to a week before you call her or make a plan for a date. By this time, you will have flirted with her, made her laugh, and there is already enough attraction built up in her mind that screwing up a phone call or a first date will actually be hard for you to do.Ad

- Be patient. If she has mentioned she'll be away, she means it. If she's let you know, it means she cares enough to keep you informed, so don't bug her.
- Don't "act" busy. If she responds, don't ever say you've got to go, bye, or try to hook her like that, don't pretend anything, ever! If she responds, great! If she hasn't responded after a few days and the anticipation becomes too strong (you'll feel it after a few days), just message her again. Usually, it's best to message again after a few days.
- Make it short and sweet but never too short. Say something that interests her. Then leave it at that. If she doesn't respond within a few days again, then let her go. What ever you do at this point don't get your hopes up from here.
- The secret. Become her friend first. Get her in front of you again just like when you first met, so she can fall in love with you, her new boyfriend, and not her phone.

A historic African-American community in Mississippi ravaged by Hurricane Katrina seemed bound for destruction. For years the town was threatened with development and subject to dumping. The citizens appealed to local and state officials and the NAACP for help, but it was the National Audubon Society that stepped in and helped protect Turkey Creek.
"Thank God for the birds," local activist Derrick Evans, formerly a lecturer of History & African American Studies at Boston College, told The Daily Show's Wyatt Cenac.
Yes, it's unexpected that birds were the reason that Turkey Creek is now safeguarded from eminent domain claims and dumping, yet the results are impressive.
"When outdoor enthusiasts got involved, it just changed things dramatically, I think," said Evans. "We recently we able to force a concession from the state to throw over 1,600 acres into perpetual conservation."
"Thanks to the birds?" asks Cenac, who interviews a number of members of the community, Al Sharpton, and Mark LaSalle, director of the Pascagoula River Audubon Center.
"Birds are very revered in Mississippi," responds Evans.
Freed slaves established Turkey Creek in 1866 during reconstruction, making it a significant historical site rich in culture. The location is also valuable to birds, which lead Audubon and the Mississippi Coast Audubon Society to designate it as a site on the Mississippi Coastal Birding Trail and as an important urban greenway.
"Many other organizations have joined forces with the Turkey Creek Community Initiative, established by Derrick in 2003 with a mission 'to conserve, restore and utilize the unique cultural, historical and environmental resources of the Turkey Creek community and watershed for education and other socially beneficial purposes,'" according to the Audubon Pascagoula River Audubon Center website. (For more about the project there, click here.)
And so, in an ironic twist of fate, the efforts lead to the preservation of both a community and bird habitat.

Wellesley's Unique and Honorable
Self-scheduled, Unsupervised Exams
Wellesley College has a strong and successful history of self-scheduled examinations. This tradition survives due to our community's commitment to it the Wellesley College Honor Code.
In accordance with the Honor Code, and to ensure that each student experiences equitable testing conditions, students are barred from speaking about an exam with any student. This includes discussion of the difficulty, content, format, or any other aspect of the exam. The standard response to questions regarding an exam is, "It's over." However, as common sense dictates, two or more students who have taken the same exam may discuss that exam provided they are not with or around other Wellesley or MIT, Olin, or Babson students.
On this page:
Examination Schedules
Students' Guide to Final Examinations
Examination Information for Faculty
Examination Information for Administrative Assistants
The schedule for Fixed Examinations is set by the standard meeting time of the course. The Fixed Examination Grid is used by students and faculty to show when the examination will take place.
List of Courses with Self-Scheduled Examinations
List of Courses with Fixed (Scheduled) Exams
Please note that these schedules change from term to term and vary greatly throughout the term until final decisions are made. Do check them frequently as changes are made up to the last day of classes.
For courses with a final examination, the professor has chosen to offer either a self-scheduled examination or a fixed (scheduled) exam. A fixed exam is an exam given at a specific time and place for the entire class at the same time. A self‐scheduled exam is one that each member of the class takes at a time of the student's choosing within the examination period.
In all examination settings, the Honor Code applies.
Students must always do their own work, using only those materials allowed by the professor, and taking only the designated amount of time.
Students with disabilities and in need of extended time or other accommodations must have their arrangements pre-approved by Jim Wice, Disability Services. These students will report to an examination center in Founders Hall. Details will be provided to these students individually in advance by the Disabilities Services Office.
Fixed Examinations
Fixed exams are scheduled within one of the exam sessions in the five day exam period. Students will know in advance from their professor regarding the time and place for the examination.
The professor will specify whether any materials can be used in the examination. Students should be at the specified room in advance of the start time. The professor or a colleague will administer and then collect the examinations at the end of the time period.
If a student has three fixed exams scheduled in a 24‐hour period, the student may arrange with a professor to reschedule one examination to a different day and time slot. Professors are required to honor these requests, as long as there is no element of the exam that requires it to be administered to the entire group at once (for example, slides need to be shown or there is an oral component). Other emergency requests for taking a fixed exam at a time other than the scheduled time are at the professor's discretion. If granted, the examination must be administered within the final examinations period and may not conflict with any other scheduled examination.
Self-Scheduled Examinations
Self-scheduled exams may be taken during any of the available exam periods scheduled each day in the five day exam period set aside for self-scheduled examinations. Students will make their own decisions, from among the designated exam sessions, regarding the day and time they wish to take any given self-scheduled examination.
The Science Center serves as the Examination Center. Students need to report to the Science Center Library to pick up any self-scheduled examination. Distribution of examinations will begin at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
Students should arrive at the examination distribution knowing their course and section number of the examination they wish to pick up. Students are required to show a photo ID. Valid forms of ID include: Student ID; driver's license; or passport. If the picture is unidentifiable, please bring an alternate valid form of ID.
Students will receive an envelope labeled with their name, the course, and the time of pickup noted. Professors should advise the students ahead of time if blue books are required and/or calculators are allowed.
In most cases, the envelope will contain the examination but no blue books or scrap paper. If the envelope indicates "Blue Books Needed", students should be sure to pick up blue books before leaving the examination center. Please return any unused blue books to the examination center when you have finished your exam. Scrap/note paper is also available at the examination center.
Students must proceed to one of the rooms designated for self‐scheduled exams. All designated rooms will be posted appropriately as open book or closed book exams.
Once in the room, the student is free to begin taking the exam. There is no proctor in the room during the exam. If the professor has allowed students to consult outside materials during the exam, there will be a pink label on the exam envelope indicating the exam is Open Book. Proceed only to a designated open book exam room.
Students are responsible for watching their time and taking no more than 2 ½ hours for the exam. When they finish, they should put the exam and any blue book(s) back in the envelope, complete the information in the upper right-hand corner of the envelope, seal and sign the envelope across the seal, and then proceed back to the examination center to return and check-in the packet.
When the examination is returned, the time is noted. Each examination is logged and checked that the student has signed the envelope. Regardless of when you begin an exam, all students must stop their work at the end of the specified examination period.
The examination schedule is determined early in each semester. Faculty are asked to watch for and respond promptly to all requests for examination preferences. Some of this information may be collected through online tools. Please review the information below.
Exams are self-contained, scheduled by student during designated exam period.
Consider the following:
- Did you indicate open book or closed book?
The term "open book" means that the students are permitted to use books, dictionaries, bibles, notebook(s), note card(s), sheets of paper, or prepared questions, etc. None of these materials are permitted in a "closed book" examination room. If you have a question on the open/closed book policy, please contact the Registrar's Office. Any changes to exam types should be communicated before supplies go out to departments on November 19th. - Did you indicate calculators permitted for your exam?
Calculators can be used in a "closed" book exam if indicated in Senta by the instructor. This notation will be on every student exam label, "calculators are permitted". - Can you meet the exam preparation deadline?
It will be the instructor's responsibility to complete their exams by the deadline. - What if a student wants to take the exam before the exam period?
No exams can be taken before the designated exam period. - What if a student cannot take the exam during the exam period?
Students are required to take their exams within the designated exam period. If the student requests an "incomplete", she may qualify to take her exam during the makeup period. Information regarding incomplete work can be found here. Legislation requires that makeup exams will be taken during the first week of classes, the following semester.
Exams are scheduled by the Registrar's office. Instructors will proctor their exams on the specified day/time/location assigned. These exams typically involves slides, presentations, or the entire group present.
Consider the following:
- Check when your exam will be held, day/time:
All scheduled exams are scheduled according to the "exam grid". This schedule is designed to avoid student time conflicts. Locations will be announced by the Registrar's Office in September. - Are you available on campus to proctor your exam on the day and time indicated?
Instructors are expected to proctor their scheduled exams. - What if a student wants to take the exam before the exam period?
No exams can be taken before the designated exam week. You may schedule a mutually agreed day and time during the exam week at your discretion if a student is unable to attend the scheduled fixed exam. The agreed day/time must not conflict with any other fixed exam and must be within the designated exam period. Departmental space should be used for this option. - What if a student cannot take the exam during the exam period?
Students are required to take their exams within the designated exam period. If the student requests an "incomplete", she may qualify to take her exam during the makeup period. Information regarding incomplete work can be found here. Legislation requires that makeup exams will be taken during the first week of classes, the following semester.
Faculty may pick up their student's completed examinations during the examination period at the Science Center Library or after the designated times, at the Office for the Registrar.
As a reminder, final grades are due shortly after the end of the examination period. The students appreciate your prompt submission of all grades.
Department Administrative Assistants play a critical role in the examination process. Faculty should submit their examinations to their respective administrative assistants by the deadline suggested. The Department is then responsible for creating the necessary number of copies, stuffing them into envelopes, and labeling each envelope. The Office of the Registrar will coordinate the collection and secure storage of all examinations.

Dubai: The President of the UAE Football Association (UAE FA) has reiterated that the hosting of the Fifa U-17 World Cup UAE 2013 will raise the level of grassroots football in the country.

UAE FA President reiterates role of Fifa U-17 World Cup in progressive role of football

- Yousuf Al Serkal, the UAE Football Association President with UAE football star Omar Abdul Rahman and the The official FIFA U-17 World Cup UAE 2013 mascot and tournament ambassador, Shaqran.
"This is not just about organising a competition, but about ensuring the development and continuity of our ambitions at the junior stages," Yousuf Al Sarkal, President, UAE FA told Gulf News at the official mascot launch ceremony for the tournament at the Burj Al Arab hotel on Monday.
The mascot named "Shakran", a blonde falcon, was unveiled later in the presence of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) led by Al Sarkal and Dr Ahmad Sa'ad Al Sharif, General Secretary, Dubai Sports Council (DSC).
UAE and Al Ain star Omar Abdul Rahman was later unveiled as the Brand Ambassador of the Fifa U-17 World Cup UAE 2013.
"Even though the senior team has been a priority for us, we have always ensured the continuity of junior players getting promotion into the higher teams based on their performance. At the moment we have at least six to eight players from the current under-17 batch who would be entering the under-19 national side," Al Sarkal noted.
"Football is about teamwork. It's not about individual performers and I hope we can have a few stars like Omar [Abdul Rahman] and Esmail Mattar coming through from this competition."
With only Ghana competing with the UAE to stage football's third most important international event [after the Fifa World Cup and the Junior World Cup], the 15th edition of this tournament is scheduled to be played at six venues: Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah and Al Ain.
Abdul Rahman said he was confident the event would act as a catalyst for football change in the country.
"Hopefully we will be able to meet the expectations of the world by hosting such a huge tournament. I am convinced football at the grassroots will only get better as we prepare," the Al Ain star told media.
Tournament Director Mohammad Abdullah Bin Bdoua sounded a similar note. "Falcons are a potent symbol of our nation and represent great strength and determination, two qualities present in all 24 teams who have qualified for this tournament," Bin Bdoua said.
A total of 52 matches will be played across the six venues, with the final being staged at Al Jazira's Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium on November 8.
Tickets for the tournament go on sale next month.

Captain Rod MacLennan has made the skies his part-time home ever since his first solo flight in 1960. Over his decades-long career, he has amassed more than 20,000 hours of flight time, working as a flight instructor, Eastern Airlines pilot, and Polar Air Cargo captain. Wanting to give the public a taste of what it means to fly a commercial airliner, he opened Airline Captain For A Day in 2009, acquiring a range of simulators that run from easily-handled Boeing 737-200 to the massive heft of a 757-200. With digital displays and real gauges, trainee pilots take off and land their charges while the simulator pod shifts and bucks, mimicking the feelings of being in a real plane or on the shoulders of a real T. rex.

Easily one of my favorite movies, it has the ability to always entertain and be a thoroughly good. It's style is extremely original, the blending of classic rock with a Medieval jousting story. William's journey to knighthood is both fun and powerful, you have such a huge connection to the characters. The visuals are flawless and the action sequences are amazing. Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon and the evil Rufus Sewell are all essential components to the movie's enjoyment. Even the supporting cast is amazing. Brian Helgeland's vision is really unique and has the ability to deliver on every front possible.

A young squire dons his master's armour when he drops dead during a tournament and so sets about impersonating a nobleman to transcend his peasant origins as a champion jouster. History gets the Hollywood treatment as the kiddie-friendly "you can be anything you want to be if you believe in yourself" message gets rammed down our throats yet again. Our square jawed hero is of course valiant in battle but a tongue tied boob in the company of the beautiful princess who is, as all Medieval princesses were, a cross between a Maxim cover girl and a suffragette. Accompanied by bickering, streetwise sidekicks (including Geoffrey Chaucer who is demoted to a cross between a fairground barker and Don King) and finding a nemesis in the shape of a hissable nobleman who inevitably discovers his secret and cheats his way to near victory, this is a live action film with a Disney cartoon script. And as for the soundtrack which is basically a copy of the "Classics Of Rock" CD, it's a conceptual nightmare. Having said all that, the likable cast and pretty visuals began to win me over after a start that is little short of horrifying and it has just enough of a sense of fun and irony to make it more palatable than similar Hollywood bastardisations of history that actually take themselves seriously. As an aging sour puss, it's easy to poke holes in the cliche riddled, corn infested script but at the same time I know that if I'd seen it as a kid, I would've loved it.

A man can change the stars Movie Quotes: "I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein!" "My Lord, the Count Adehmar, Son of Phillip DeVitry, son of Gilles... er... Master of the Free Companies, defender of his enormous manhood, a shining example of chivalry and champagne." "You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me? " Hehe, after all these years, this movie still cracks me up. Slightly 'Shakespear-esque', modern day rock n roll, cool soundtrack, good acting, story and script. Filled with quirky characters and witty lines, I thought it was quite a riot! There was 1 thing I couldnt really take about this movie though.. and Ill leave it with this quote. "There she is, William. The embodiment of love. Your Venus!" "And ooh how I hate her...."

A small gem of a hotel. Spotlessly clean and very welcoming and friendly owners. More like staying with friends than a hotel experience. Very good restaurant within 10 minute walk. - Anonymous
I've been to a few 5* hotels, and this one was the best of them! I think I fell in love when, after a long trip by car, they asked me if I wanted them to park my car. I just gave them the keys and they started unloading all my bags and taking care to park the car inside the hotel's parking. What I thought was just a welcome gesture, they always parked my car, and take it outside the parking every time I needed it or when I arrived to the hotel! The room was very confortable, extremely clean an - Anonymous
Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent accommodation and facilities. Quirky, modern interior and high tech fittings in rooms! Buffet breakfast is of high quality and very well presented. I will undoubtedly use this hotel again. Its closeness to both the rail terminal and the bus station, which has a regular airport service, is a particular advantage. - Alexander
It's an attractive clean modern hotel in an excellant location in Malaga (next to cathedral). alas it rained all day while I was there so I spent lots of time in the hotel. They have a good selection of newspapers but nothing for the english speaking traveller. nice bar. nice breakfast. did not try the restaurant. - Matthew
it is a 4 star hotel very convinient well situated near the train station and city center, clean tidy - Michel
As a Hotel you could not ask for anything more. All the staff were very helpful and helped keep the trip for our group of 18 completely hassle free. Malaga was a far greater succces than we could have expected - sun, sea, beaches, history, art, culture, superb food and great atmosphere. - Anonymous
it's very relaxed,the food is excellent and reasonable and the staff are very efficient and make you feel very welcome and nothing is a chore for them - Mary
The hotel is in a good position for the city centre,but is also close to the rail and bus stations if you need to travel further afield. - Trevor

Aaron Murray's life was just starting when it stopped short on a dark stretch of Highway 7 at 5:30 a.m. last Thursday.
A new father to a 3-week-old son, engaged to his girlfriend Hope Paterson and almost done college, the 21-year-old was on his way home to Trenton after an unpaid night shift working as a campus security guard at Trent University in Peterborough. He was starting university in the fall with an ultimate goal of becoming a politician.
The Loyalist College student was doing a 140-hour unpaid work practicum for his protection, security and investigations diploma and was a few weeks from completion.
Halfway home, he crossed the centre line and struck an oncoming vehicle. He was airlifted to St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto with severe head trauma. The other driver was hospitalized but will recover.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Though Murray was often tired, he was comfortable working nights and never texted while he drove, Paterson said.
The day before the crash, Murray had slept for a few hours after his overnight shift before heading to an afternoon shift at a Trenton McDonald's, where he is a manager. After a short break in the evening, he made the hour's drive back to Peterborough to check in for 9 p.m.
"I never thought he wouldn't come home to me. It wasn't something that ever crossed my mind," said Paterson as her bright blue eyes welled up with tears. They met last year in a class at Loyalist, where she is also a student. His pickup line to her involved his 98.5-per-cent average.
Paterson, her son Jude and Murray's family kept vigil for him until he was removed from life support on Monday. Paterson spent his last night curled up on his hospital bed. His kidneys, pancreas, lungs and liver were donated.
Paterson's mom, Donna, said some members of her future son-in-law's family had expressed concerns about his working hours, though her daughter disagreed.
"He really wanted me to stay home with Jude and give him the best start at life. That's why he worked so hard. He wanted to be home for me but he knew he had to work hard," Paterson said. A trust fund has been set up for the baby's education.
Murray loved his program and the college, Paterson said.
"He was a wonderful young man who made many contributions to the college community," said Loyalist College president Maureen Piercy. The college approves all work experience for credits and requires weekly progress reports, she said.
"There's a lot of oversight. It's well designed and well managed and well monitored and carefully evaluated."
Doing work in exchange for academic credit means Employment Standards Act provisions including minimum wage and hours of work do not apply. Estimates vary and no government agency is keeping track, but there could be as many as 300,000 unpaid interns in Ontario alone. About 200,000 are enrolled in school.
In 2011, Edmonton college student and intern Andy Ferguson, 22, was killed when he was driving home from an unpaid overnight shift at a radio station. He had worked a paid shift before that, and his family believes he fell asleep at the wheel halfway through his commute home, according to local media.
Ferguson's death prompted a provincial review of practicums in public post-secondary schools.
Ontario currently has no plans to review practicum programs offered by colleges and universities, said Tanya Blazina, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
Providing safe working environments is the responsibility of the college or university, she said in a written statement.
Murray chose Trent for his practicum because he would be attending the school's forensic science program in the fall, said acting president Steve Pillar, adding the student normally worked 10-hour shifts no more than four days in a row.
Besides being a dedicated student, peer tutor and father, Murray was also a justice studies representative on student government since September.
"The odd time he did miss a meeting he made sure we knew exactly why, and it was because his fiancée was pregnant," said Chantel Johnston, Loyalist student council president, who recalled his good manners and patience. "He still missed very few."
Loyalist College held a memorial this week for Murray. The flag at Trent University has been lowered to half-mast in his honour.

The former COO of Clarian now directs SPEA's health administration program. He shares his thoughts on trends in the field.
More and more physicians are starting their own specialty hospitals. You've obviously seen it happen in Indianapolis. What can community hospitals do to survive this new trend? I wouldn't call it a new trend—more like an extension of a trend that started several years ago. Physicians are facing the challenge of declining reimbursement. They've been looking for additional services they can provide in their offices and through new venues to maintain their income levels. We saw it as one factor in the creation of ambulatory surgery centers and diagnostic centers. Now we're seeing it again as one factor in the development of specialty hospitals.
Hospitals can respond by operating as efficiently possible. And they need to provide new services, bariatric surgery, for instance. And many hospitals are expanding their services in areas like cancer, heart disease, and in women's services.
Some people predict that community hospitals will eventually become giant intensive care units, serving only the sickest. I don't think so. Clearly, we've got an aging population. The acuity of patients will go up and so will the utilization of intensive care services. It's also going to lead to an increase in other inpatient and outpatient services. The proportionate increase in intensive care services will probably be at a greater rate than the increase in medical/surgical usage. But the idea that hospitals will become giant intensive care units—that's an overstatement.
What other challenges face hospitals today? First, just having capacity to provide needed care. One of the assumptions prevalent years ago was that the amount of inpatient care would decrease and there would be the need for far fewer hospital beds and hospitals. Now health care is reaching a point where inpatient care will probably increase and hospitals will have to expand their capacity in the number of medical/surgical beds and in intensive care.
Another challenge: the level of reimbursement hospitals receive. For a typical hospital, over 50% of their patients are covered by the government-funded Medicare and Medicaid programs. That percentage is increasing for many hospitals. If you look at the short term, all the government-funded programs will be challenged from a financial standpoint because of large deficits at both the federal and state levels. If you assume that hospitals won't get an increase from Medicare and Medicaid consistent with increases on the cost side, that's a significant and potentially immediate challenge.
Looking long term, funding of Medicare is a big issue. The working population funds a significant percentage of the costs of the Medicare program, including the costs of those currently in the program. As the population ages, there will be proportionately less people working relative to those covered by Medicare.
There are a variety of other challenges. One continuing issue is labor shortages in key areas such as nursing. Another is availability of capital. This will be an increasing problem as hospital finances are challenged.
How do you think government will respond? The two potential sources of revenue for Medicare are payroll taxes and retirees' co-pays and deductibles. While this will be a very difficult political issue, it's likely that both will have to increase to meet the rising costs of the Medicare program.
Let's get back to the cyclical phenomenon of a nursing shortage. What has to happen in order for hospitals to recruit more nurses, along with radiology and medical technologists? The nursing shortage will be with us for awhile. The average age of hospital nurses has been going up for many years; they're now, on average, in their mid-forties.
As these nurses retire, hospitals will have to recruit large numbers of nurses to replace them, and to do that, nursing needs to be attractive to potential students.
But at the same time, there's another immediate challenge. There aren't enough nursing faculty to allow a significant expansion in nursing enrollment. You need a focused effort to expand the numbers of qualified faculty.
Applications to nursing schools are up. It's a case of supply and demand; salaries increase when you have a shortage of staff. So, financially, a career in nursing is more attractive now. It's also a stable profession, which is attractive in an unstable economy. We're seeing similar trends in radiology and medical technologists.
What hospitals need to do is focus on retention and recruitment. I say that very intentionally in that order. They need to make the hospital a satisfying place to work so they can retain the staff they have. It all starts with keeping the people you have by creating the best work environment possible and providing benefits like educational support and flexible work schedules. At the same time, you need a proactive, effective recruitment program.
It's so hard for people to be informed consumers when it comes to health care. You can easily find reliability information on almost every product—used cars, for instance—but it's very hard to know if your hospital is a good one. How can hospitals convey that they deserve the public's trust? In the coming years we're going to see a lot more emphasis on the quality of health care. We're going to see data that reflect how providers are doing in terms of quality.
That kind of data collection has started but it needs to be more developed and refined. Many different groups are doing this, including Medicare, the Leapfrog initiative, Health Grades, and insurers like Anthem.
From a health care provider standpoint, it would be beneficial to have consensus on the indicators to be measured. It's still early in this process and I expect the data to get a lot better over the next several years.
Do you see nationalized health care happening in our lifetime? At this point, no. The U.S. has such a long tradition of private health care that people are generally comfortable with this kind of system.
The more immediate question is, what will happen to the 40 million-plus people who are uninsured? Will there be significant efforts to find ways of reducing that number? In that process, how will it be funded and what will be the insurance mechanism to provide that coverage? Some of these are political as well as practical questions.
Do you think things will change if we get a new man in the White House? That's hard to predict. One has to remember that the Clinton administration spent a huge amount of time focusing on health care and, in the end, there was no progress or major changes. It's a very complex issue and potentially a very expensive one. A lot of people portrayed the Clinton initiative as a move toward national health insurance and that was viewed negatively by many. The fact that Clinton's program made no progress demonstrates just how complex the health care field is. The very large federal deficit also will make it difficult to fund expensive new initiatives.
Considering all the stress involved, why would someone want to pursue a career in hospital administration? Look at the health care field in general. You're in the business of really helping people and that's very satisfying. Hospitals and health care administrators can have a very positive impact on the patients served as well as their communities. I think that's one of the biggest attractions of health care. Hospitals are clearly among the most complex organizations around. But you have an opportunity to make a difference in a complex environment—that's also attractive to many people.
Career opportunities for those with Masters of Health Administration degrees used to be limited mostly to hospitals. What are job options today? They are very diverse. Clearly, there are still significant opportunities in hospitals. There are also a lot of opportunities in ambulatory care and physician practice management, health maintenance organizations, health insurance, health care companies, and consulting.
This is a huge transition for you, going from COO of Clarian to director of the health administration program at SPEA. Why are you doing it? Health care is one of the largest and most important economic sectors in the state. It's seen as a major area for potential economic growth as exemplified by the Biocrossroads initiative. For long-term success, we need strong health care leaders. I expect SPEA and the MHA program will play a major role in helping achieve this.
This position is a new and different type of opportunity for me. I like the fact that I can have a positive impact on the education and career development of these future health care executives. I also think it will be fun.

The Voice 2013: Will.i.am's mum told him off for giving money to Prince Charles!
It's been reported today that The Voice coach Will.i.am got a right royal telling off from his mum Debra after she learned he'd been making sizable donations to the Prince's Trust, which is of course overseen by Prince Charles…
However, it transpired that Debra didn't know who Prince Charles was, but was appeased once her son explained.
Will told Goss, "When I did The Voice, I wanted to give away the money I'd made…
"I called and told my mom I wanted to give it away, and she was like: 'To who?' I told her: 'I'm going to give it to Prince Charles.'
"So she asked me: 'Who is Prince Charles?'
"I was like: 'In England, mom. The Queen's son…'
"But she just said: 'Are you crazy? What is he going to do with it?'"
But regardless of his mother's lack of knowledge about the British royal family, Will couldn't be more proud of her, and he's always anxious to make her proud of him too.
He said, "I do what I do to make my mom proud. It means more to me than authorities like the police.
"If someone told me the police have visited, I'd be like, OK. But if my mom was angry with me, I'd be scared."
Aww bless him! Here's a reminder of Will's work with the Prince's Trust…
